Wall pattern around the window cut

Hi! I wonder where (if possible) you can set the pattern/color for the window cut. I want the part marked in red in the picture to be black. I could paint it, but when you have 100+ windows then it gets very mundane.

Beside painting you have some options.

 

-You could build something in your window family (similar to the trim here)

-For Walls you can use wrap at inserts (assuming same material as on wall face)

In that case Better do something inside the family. Add geometry inside the family and add material parameter.

What about a wall wrap? Wrap at Inserts.

Another option could be to add material parameter to a paint finish perhaps, I'd probably do this with wrapping though...

If the material of the opening surfaces is the same as that of the wall then use Wrap at Insert. Else, create a thin layer in the window family, match the dimension with the wall thickness, give it a subcategory or a material parameter so that you can assign in project.
